I don’t know how basketball isn’t everyone’s favorite sport. Look at this Texas Tech v. Texas game. Constant pressure, anything can happen at any moment, crowd present in every shot. I just love it.
You are correct about this, but it’s September 20th. The season is on the line.
Maybe it’s time starting pitchers and managers actually put aside the “100 pitches limit” and have your “Ace” go record 3 more outs. But we don’t deviate from the script.

Fine. Throw it up to Wemby. Nobody can block Wemby, right?
PELLE LARSSON JUST SENT THAT SHIT INTO THE 14TH ROW.
Spo glares at the court with a twinkle in his eye. He hasn’t blinked in 45 minutes.
Pat Riley is sitting courtside in a black Armani suit smoking a cigar indoors. Nobody has the courage to tell him he can’t.
Welcome to Miami Heat basketball.

ESPN was what is was because every person in this photo started at the ground. No social media. No influencers. They were journalists in small markets, perfecting their on-air presence for years before getting the spotlight.
Now? Former athletes and TikTokers. Never the same.
The Astros won 106 games and the World Series in '22, then fired their GM, AGM, hired a scout to get back to "real baseball", and saw the leaders of their analytics department make lateral moves to smarter organizations.
4 years later, they are the 24th or 25th best team in MLB:
People are stressing too hard about the Knicks parade.
Getting a good spot for the actual parade: Impossible, give up now.
Celebrating downtown with a million fellow Knicks fans: An epic day to remember forever.
